Hello,

Does anyone here know if any Autism support groups are advocating for this young man? Everything inside me is screaming out to help this boy.

But for the grace of God It could be my child. He doesn't know what he's done. All he knows is that the one person who has loved him his whole life has vanished and he's in a horrible place, covered and restrained and literally imploding moment by moment. he's terrified and no jail can meet his needs. I'm so frustrated. There has to be something that can be done for this young man.

Any info would be greatly appreciated????????

Kim

I have contacted the Autism Society of Greater Cleveland - will fw it to the ARC, county BMRDD and a few attorneys - I hope someone has the resources and staff at these organizations to advocate for this young man. What a terrible, sad situation...

Here is the heartbreaking photo of how they are containing Sky, becuase

a jail is not the place for this terrified boy.

Also here is a loving essay written by Trudi about her life with Sky.

Gertrude Steuernagel's essay on her son can be found at:

Thank you Shari for helping to keep us all informed. If your husband

has any suggestions on what the best thing is we can do to lend

support, so many want to help. Even in small ways, letters phone

calls etc. This horrible tragedy presents a call to action for all of

us to educated EVERYONE about autism. Blessings to you both Kim
